Hi All, I’m in the process of changing some SVG routines to be a bit more efficient (I think).
Miyako showed me how to embed svg images as “defs”: $defs:=SVG_Define_symbol ($domSvg_ptr->;"defs”) so I could reuse the graphics without reloading them several times. This part works perfectly. Previously I would read the image from disk and resize and place: $tDom_Image:=SVG_New_image ($$domSvg_ptr->;$image_t;$x;$y;$w;$h) Worked great! no matter the size of the original svg image on disk which are in the neighborhood of 1000 pixels width/height (although there is variation). And I can’t set the originals to a fixed size because the end user can change the same image, in different places of the svg document, to different sizes. So I need to managing the image sizes dynamically. Anyway, now that I am accessing these “defs” images using: $glyph:=SVG_Use ($domSvg_ptr->;$id;$inX;$inY;$size_IntrcG;$size_IntrcG) I have to both resize the image and make sure it stays at the x/y coords I need. But it’s not! To reset the size I believe I have to use (0.02 being used for testing): SVG_SET_TRANSFORM_SCALE ($glyph;0.02;0.02) To reposition at the x/y I believe I have to use: SVG_SET_TRANSFORM_TRANSLATE ($glyph;$inX;$inY) The scaling seems to scale BUT the translate is not placing the images at the x/y location I need. Although, the attributes for the object look correct: height - 14 transform - scale(0.02,0.02) width - 14 x - 660 xlink:href - #S09 y - 660 I am assuming (until I know better) that these values are correct. So I must be missing something? How do I control both the height/width (I think I am) and the exact x/y placement when I am creating an image using SVG_Use? Anyone?
